Post 30: Coffee or Tea

Since the last post was about two different beverages, I figured I could use that and make this one about them as well. Specifically, tea versus coffee.

I love tea. Especially Chai tea; white chai, spice chai, double spice chai, chai, green tea chai, etc. I also love Orange Pekoe and English breakfast. As far as Starbucks goes, I like their Chai Tea Lattes.

I love coffee, as well. But, it makes my stomach sick if I drink too much. Even a Venti tends lead to grumbling. If I'm at Starbucks and not thinking about tea, I get a Pumpkin Spice Latte ('tis the season, right? Well, almost.)

The thing I dislike about tea is that if it isn't made right, it just taste bland and watered down.

Like, even the best tea can be ruined if the tea bag to water ratio is off. And it doesn't always help to let the tea steep longer. Sometimes, you just end up with cold and bland tea.

But coffee almost always has a huge kick of flavour, not always seen as a pleasant flavour, but flavour nonetheless.

I will be quite sad when Pumpkin season becomes Candy Cane or Egg Nog season. (Whatever the winter will bring.) Because it will mean back to chai lattes. And I like Chai Lattes when they are done right. But since not every place you go does them right, there are times when you end up feeling like you spent $6 on chai flavoured water.

But, I am a bit of a Starbucks Snob (as my friends and classmates have called it) so I can't complain too much about pricing. There are cheaper places out there.

That is all for today. All this coffee and tea talk has made me thirsty!
